We are thrilled to host the 2027 SPRE Summit at the Calvin Smyre Conference Center at Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, GA! We chose this venue because of its deep commitment to advancing health equity, community-centered solutions, and inclusive development, values that strongly align with the mission of Community Spaces Network (CSN) and the principles of social purpose real estate. As an institution rooted in service and impact, Morehouse School of Medicine represents a powerful example of how place-based investments can drive meaningful change in communities.

We also have a room block at The American Hotel Atlanta Downtown. The American Hotel is a name that reflects a pivotal moment in the city’s history, as it opened in 1962 as Atlanta’s first racially integrated hotel during the Civil Rights Movement. The hotel quickly became a place where leaders, visitors, and community members could gather across lines of difference, reflecting Atlanta’s broader legacy as a center for social change and progress. Today, the hotel maintains elements of its mid-century character while continuing to serve as a welcoming space rooted in that history.

The Calvin Smyre Conference Center at Morehouse School of Medicine is in the West End neighborhood alongside Morehouse College, Spellman College, and Clark Atlanta University, three Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), while the hotel is situated in Downtown Atlanta nearby to Centennial Park and the National Center for Civil and Human Rights (NCCHR). There will be complimentary shuttle buses available for all attendees.
